WUD Film Presents: The Thing (1982)

USA | 109 min | R | DCP | Dir. John Carpenter 

"A research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims," (IMDB)

"In my eyes, The Thing is as perfect as a movie can get: it knows exactly what it wants to be and what it’s trying to do, and succeeds on every level I can conceive. Its visuals were bold, striking, and innovative for its time, and even considering the limits of technology when it was made, it still holds up against the barrage of bland cgi worlds we get now. Its screenplay is full of suspenseful tension and frights mixed with the perfect amount of humanity, and the cast delivers the story beautifully," - Thaddeus Buttrey (Loud and Clear Reviews)
